Xh. Li et al., SOURCE ROCKS OF THE CALEDONIAN-AGE GRANITOID ROCKS IN WANYANSHAN-ZHUGUANGSHAN, SOUTHEAST CHINA .2. TOPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS IN ISOTOPIC MULTISPACE, Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 36(7), 1993, pp. 880-887
Topological analysis in Sr-Nd-O-Pb3 six-dimensional isotopic space sug
gests that the source rocks of the Caledonian-age granitoid rocks in W
anyangshan-Zhuguangshan, southeast China, comprise three end-member co
mponents. Isotopic mixing model discrimination indicates that the gran
itoid rocks were produced through mixing of the three components-in va
rying proportions. Comprehensive study of multiple isotopic systems an
d geochemistry of the granitoid rocks suggests that the three end-memb
er components were crustal rocks which are continent-derived sediments
, geosycline sediments and altered basic volcanic rocks.
